Lyrics text prank (copyright music)

Either just the say the lyrics and not use any music, the most then would be revenue share since they wrote the lyrics but that probably wouldn't happen since YouTube system wouldn't pick it up and the original copyright owner would have to actively find it and claim it. You could record the entire song yourself as a cover and you'd own the recording rights and therefore have the right to upload and revenue share with the original writer. If you don't care about monetizing then you can look through the music section on YouTube where it tells you what rights you have to songs written by others. Most say you can use them but the owner will monetize and take the money from the video.
